[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not see what is wrong with our current approach.

We need to stop the wholesale incarceration of young black men, in order to break the school-to-prison pipeline.[/quote]

or we could incarcerate violent felons [/quote]

We can also work on creating conditions where there are fewer violent felons.[/quote]

Any ideas? The cities with the most progressive ideas seem to have made no headway [/quote]

The most progressive cities still half-ass their programs.  Take Muriel Bowser in DC.  Her "progressive" ideas look nice at the surface but don't fundamentally change anything.

I also think it needs commitment over decades, not a six month or one year trial then declaring it a failure.

Kids are harmed in so many ways by poverty.  This is a long game that we need to play, no silver bullets.[/quote]

Could you please cite a progressive city that has implemented progressive criminal reform policies that have shown to have a statically significant impact on violent crime? Could you also cross verify those results with the crime reduction seen in cities like New York when they implemented tough on crime policing, broken windows policy and stop and frisk? Or also when DC cracked down in the late 80’s and 90’s? I’d like to learn which type of response works better at actually lowering crime. The tough variety or the restorative justice, no bail, $1,000 or higher for it to be a felony limit for shoplifting, and other lenient approaches. I’m sure you know the answer and are embarrassed to admit that tough policing is better for the actual community affected, maybe not for the children of those incarcerated or their families, but to victims of violent crime I’m sure it’s reassuring that their attackers are actually away from them and the general populace for a while.[/quote]

Less crime is not a progressive goal. They run on arresting less POC and achieve those goals.[/quote]
